Put the rock in a bucket of RO/DI. Any invert should fly out of the rock w/in minutes

have heard that club soda or seltzer will REALLLLLLY work well if you know what hole it is hiding in. Be careful, because I think that it might kill the bacteria if it is sat in a tub of club soda.

it could be stuck inside if it wouldn't come out. I actually had to hammer the part where a crab was hiding.

I actually did this with a worm inside my rock and it came out in about 5 seconds

do you know the exact hole hes in? if so do what others said and go with seltzer or club soda.

if there is nothing else on this rock, toss it in the freezer overnight.

^haha
if you know what rock it is, seltzer is your best bet on getting it out

When I tried to get my mud crab out, I shake the piece of LR which the crab was hiding in a bucket of cold tap water, the crab come out in like 30 seconds
